sometimes people are a bit surprised when i tell them that i like to spend most of my nights home reading a book, watching a dvd, studying thai, things like that. bangkok apparently has this amazing nightlife, but aside from when i have friends in from out of town, i am rarely up past eleven or twelve on a weekend. part of what keeps me in are the crowds and smoking, in california you can go out to a bar and hang out with your friends and your clothes don’t reek of cigarettes when you come home. i think what really keeps me home is that i already spent way too many hours in bars and clubs and as a settle into my dotage, i just enjoy going to bed early, getting up early, being in places without loud music. i’m sure that my ashtanga practice is a big influence on this too, it’s hard to get up and practice yoga for two hours six days a week if you’re not taking care of your body properly.
there have been two periods in my life tho where i was very much into going out, the first lasted from about age 16-19 and for those first few years i pretty much spent all my energy either going out, saving money to go out, or fighting with my parents about not letting me go out. i grew up in a small town in upstate ny and while there was no real night-life around there, it was the early 90s and there was this booming rave culture happening in lots of places a few hours from nyc. when i was back at mom’s for christmas i found hundreds of old rave flyers stored in a box, i scanned in a bunch … either from parties i went to, thought i may of went to or just thought were pretty. i don’t think i went to all of the parties that i scanned in flyers for, but i my memories from those years are a bit shaky (for a variety of reasons), so who knows what i went to and didn’t.
i have a big box of pictures from those years too, i’m not sure i’m ready to put them online yet tho. i wore some really scary outfits.
rave flyers are linked above as rave museum.
